This conceptual manuscript defines FW-PBIS and makes the case for why juvenile and residential facilities should consider adopting the PBIS framework. A summary of roundtable participant discussions and examples from their facilities from the juvenile justice strand at the PBIS Forum are provided per the four thematic group topics – sources and uses of data to make FW-PBIS decisions; selecting and implementing appropriate reinforcements; teaching and modeling FW-PBIS behavior expectations; and using FW-PBIS to organize facility practices, including mental health, into the tiers with frequently asked FW-PBIS questions.
